I am starting to gather everything I need to do the 5100 Bilstein lift with springs and was wondering if there is anything else I should replace with the strut assembly? I have purchased the Toytec washer and bushing kit and did not know if there was anything else someone who has done the suspension switch would recommend replacing when I have the struts broken down. Also, is there anything I should replace with the rear shocks when I switch those out? I would prefer to do it right the first time instead of going into it half-cocked.
Replacing struts, what other parts???

I've got new FJ Cruiser springs, a set of four 5100's, replacement bushings for both front and rear sway bars, and new top plates/mounting hardware all around. I'm just waiting until the weather warms up a bit this spring before swapping everything out.

do you have xreas? if you don't know you can check by looking at the shocks. if they have hoses/pipes coming out of the shock body you do. if this is the case, you need to replace all 4 as the system is cross linked. the most popular choice on here is the 5100's for stock replacement, but there are other options, kyb, monroe, tokico, etc
